Car + Ice = Accident

Failure to stop at a safe distance. I guess my car smashed into his is not a very safe distance according to the cop, but what does he know. (evil) (evil)
 
That sux man. I know right where you are talking about too. I rolled a ford ranger a few years back right where MLK crosses main st as soon as you cross over 496. I'm guessing Crippen has a body shop. I think all dealers do don't they ? But, I have heard that C & T is OK. I think I even know somebody who is friends with the owners. What's the time frame on getting it back ? Any idea yet ?

Hey Yaggie...I live in Lansing and crashed my car on MLK right between the GM plant on that huge overpass. The car got towed to C&T body shop on kalamazoo in downtown Lansing. I have heard from many people that it is a reputable shop. However, if I had known that Crippen had a body shop, I would have taken it there. (scratch) At least this body shop is going to replace my HID kit. Well, gotta go find out how much my ticket is.
 
Yeah, in Utah, none of the mazda dealerships had body shops. Maybe here??? They gave me a window of about 2 weeks. The parts have already been ordered, but they say it takes a while b/c it is a mazda. I just want them to do a good job. Of course, getting my car back will be nice too.
 
No s***, I guess I figured they all have body shops.........What do you have for HID's ?

Hey Pat, I want to see your car up close now since you got the MAM installed. We are gunna have to meet up sometime.
 
yeah they are, just don't post much, same with bryan, course chris sold his mp3, tekkie is still around, but there arent too many active others.... a few around... kinda sad. I think we peaked about summer 03/spring 04. :( now its all downhill.

yaggie- definitely, although it'd be more impressive if i get my engine in first, then have 275-300whp :D
 
So, engine bay is empty right now eh ? I didn't know you had pulled it. Whatcha doin, full forged internals and whatnot ?

Ah sucks, my P5 was in an accident like that and I bought it from the shop that fixed it, headlights were untouched, just hood, bumper, bumper assy and rad had to be fixed on mine.
 
Jees, $4500 for that?!?! My accident cost that much (to the insurance company of course) and I think I was a lot worse off than that. Maybe there's some damage we can't see in the pics, but that doesnt look that bad.
 
I wouldn't have gone to Crippen anyways. They really suck bad (at least their sales and service did last time I dealt with them).

Hope you get your car fixed quickly. We don't need a silver P5 out of commission in town. I guess probability says that I won't crash my P5 now. I mean, what are the chances of two silver P5s getting in accidents in town? (wink) Seriously though, glad you're okay. And you might be able to get the charges reduced for your ticket if the weather was bad enough.

BTW-I want to see those headlight when you get your car fixed. I'm debating dropping the cash for some HIDs for my P5.
